Who told aliens to use Hexagons?

[Gradius]

I just don't get why hexagons are part of the WoL collector's edition design. They're using it like a hexagonal cage.

Isn't the casting circle for everything that way o.0

Yeah.

Halo series- The forerunners/covenant
V- The visitors
Starcraft- The Protoss

I find it kind of amusing that someone decided that hexagons are proprietary alien tech. Anyone else have other examples?

Benzene is the most stable carbon cycle and it has the form of a hexagon (unless you wanna talk about chair conformation and such but this is for cyclohexane anyways). Most organic compounds contain at least one benzene so they are probably taking their inspiration from there.

We are getting nerdy in here.

Protoss: more benzene rich than your average organic compound!

Yeah.

For some reason that example reminds me of Neosteel. Hexagon metal = Neosteel in my mind. Hexagon "energy" = Shields XD

Come on. You have to ask this question?

Hex-grids are a priori awesome. They have an innate awesomeness given to them by Settlers of Catan and the most awesome of insects: bees.

Bees. My God.

[SinsWage]

I love bees.

How are you going to stop him from saying words? Release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouths, so when they bark they shoot bees?
